In my career I have worked at several Companies with different manager and management Styles What do you consider GOOD Management? I know Bad Management -[MICROMANAGEMENT UURGG] But What do you look at with your managers and the management I seens alot of bad. . . and alot of not so bad but I don't think I have seen management that that just made me say MAN, That is a great Manager. . or Great Management I generally put it terms of Effectiveness, Consideration of Employees and Rapport/personality Rocket River Seeking knowledge for Self Improvement . . .
Good management to me is this: 1.) They tell you what they need 2.) They tell you when they need it 3.) They make sure you have the tools and resources to do what they ask 4.) They tell you to let them know if you need them 5.) They assume "no news is good news" and leave you alone to do your work. I have had the privilage of working for 1 manager like this in my carreer.
Just stay out of my hair and quit telling me things that I already know. Trust your people to do the right thing without constantly bugging them about it. Just leave me alone so I can get some work done.
The best managers let their people do their jobs and make sure they have the tools to do them. They should set goals and expectations and stick to them, even if it means being "late" on a delivery. They should manage expectations with other groups within the organization, and they should support their people with their decisions. Also...they should be fair when evaluating talent and people.
Thanks . . . I appreciate it. I read the One Minute Manager and it says similar things Most Managers seem to treat employees with distrust or disdain in some instances they seem to prefer FEAR AND INTIMIDATION over Trust and cooperation Rocket River
